Help me find my friend Ana, a fellow traveler. She’s missing and we’re all worried about her. Please share, especially if you are in Spain 🇪🇸 https://t.co/8ifJh3Fpu8

Downtown L.A.’s would-be luxury buildings covered in graffiti. Completion of the three towers halted 5 years ago after the Beijing-based developer abandoned the project. Now taggers even from outside the state are illegally accessing the towers to tag them. #graffiti #losangeles

Summer, spring, winter or fall, he’s on this street corner downtown L.A. almost every day playing Christmas songs on his violin. The season eventually comes around and it doesn’t seem so odd he’s playing Christmas tunes on, say, July 4th. Everybody has a story. What’s his story?

Kate Linthicum of the Los Angeles Times takes note during her #travels of an increasing number of Black Americans settling abroad, creating whole new communities. And asks why? Photos by the L.A. Times’ Gary Coronado. https://t.co/6Yb5ZeFPbY

At The Grove in Los Angeles, is that billionaire and former L.A. mayoral candidate Rick Caruso on phone (in green shirt), walking past the band?

I enter a cage. I exit the cage. I trigger a camera. It snaps my picture. All part of an immersive exhibit at Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge, California, about the mountain lions that live among us. Learned some cool things about the big cats and in a beautiful setting.

Great hikes along the River Valley Nature Preserve. That’s Tijuana, Mexico, on the other side of the border wall. #trails #border #mexico

[Michael Ottey @MTendsToTravel]

Border Field State Park, an easy stroll to the U.S.- Mexico wall. From here you can see Tijuana. The area is under control of Border Patrol, so note that at any given moment access could be denied. Thanks to those who joined my livestream on @HeckleApp from this interesting spot

Just walking around town, it’s not hard to find muralists at work. I spotted four on this day. Should I return to show you the finished works of these two? #StreetArt #mural #Lakers
